What is a Gram-force per square centimeter?
A unit of pressure where one gram-force is applied over one square centimeter area.
Discover the ease of converting pressure from Gram-force per square centimeter to Centipascal with Newtum's intuitive converter. A tool that sparks your curiosity and simplifies complex conversions.
A Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one gram applied to an area of one square centimeter. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) and is often used in material science and other technical fields to measure very small pressures.
Definition of CentipascalThe Centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system equal to one hundredth of a Pascal, the SI derived unit of pressure. It represents a very small amount of pressure, typically used in scientific and industrial contexts where precise measurements of low pressure are critical.
Gram-force/sq. cm (gf/cm²) | Centipascal (cPa) |
---|---|
0.01 gf/cm² | 98.0665 cPa |
0.1 gf/cm² | 980.665 cPa |
1 gf/cm² | 9806.65 cPa |
2 gf/cm² | 19613.3 cPa |
3 gf/cm² | 29419.95 cPa |
5 gf/cm² | 49033.25 cPa |
10 gf/cm² | 98066.5 cPa |
20 gf/cm² | 196133 cPa |
50 gf/cm² | 490332.5 cPa |
100 gf/cm² | 980665 cPa |
1 gf/cm² = 980.665 cPa
1 cPa = 0.00101972 gf/cm²
Example 1:
Convert 2 gf/cm² to cPa:
2 gf/cm² = 2 × 980.665 cPa = 1961.33 cPa
Example 2:
Convert 5 gf/cm² to cPa:
5 gf/cm² = 5 × 980.665 cPa = 4903.325 cPa
